An ode to Geoffy

Right before Christmas I was wondering around pinterest and found a few projects that I really liked. I was, however, 9 months pregnant and about to have a baby. Geoff took notice of the things that I really liked and took it upon himself to make them for me. Love him. Here are a few things that my AMAZING hubby made over the winter holiday.

First, he started off with new beds for the girls. They have been sharing a full size bed ever since Addie can remember. Addie loved sharing a bed with Macie. Macie not so much. Addie is a crazy sleeper.Here is Macie's bed. There is the storage below the bed and the bookshelf above the bed. This was to help with the amazing clutter that 2 little girls can produce. I was lucky enough to find bedding that matched, was their favorite colors, and was within my budget. LOVE!!Here is Addie's bed. I have since gotten baskets for below their beds to store their things in. This is the "hut". When I found this bed, there was a center that both of the beds came to. We went back and forth on different ways to make this work, and finally came up with this. The girls LOVE it! And so do I, now I don't see ANY of their clutter at all!!! It has taken their room from a mess zone to a clean zone and everyone (especially clean freak momma) is happy!! They are allowed to do what they want inside the hut. Including putting pictures on the wall. This is a feature that Macie loves. I was constantly telling her to take things off of the walls because I can't stand the look of it. (She even has a huge cork board in the toy room she can use, but it is not in her bedroom, so it is not usable). And here is what they look like in their room. When Geoff asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I told him that I would like more pieces to my nativity. When he started looking, he didn't like how much they cost, so he took it upon himself to build the Creche to my nativity. It looks the exact same. Amazing! I came out Christmas morning and he had it all set up. It looks so good and makes such a difference!!! I love it and am still in shock that he made it!!

Then he made the girls some benches.

The benches were to go with this. A coffee table that he cut in half and added a middle section to. All his idea by the way! The middle section is complete with a little container for markers and crayons. It also has pull out drawers on each end for the girls coloring books. He is genius. All of this because, again, I was tired of seeing all of their crap all over the place. Now everything has a home. LOVE it!!!One of the pull out drawers, with my little helper.

This is the other beauty that I found on pinterest. I saw it and decided that I was going to make it. I have been looking for a table for our front entry way and this was just what I was looking for. He also made this for me for Christmas. After he made it, I stained it and I love the way it turned out. Better than I could have ever imagined.

The best part about all of these projects is that we didn't have to pay a dime for any of the wood. We had a bunch of points on our credit card and used them to get gift cards for home depot, so everything was completely free!! LOVE it!!!!!
